Join us for the the launch of GeoIgnite with Jonathan Murphy, the Chair of GeoIgnite, and Dr. Minda Suchan of MDA.Abstract of MDA Keynote: Canada is the world leader in wide area space-based radar Earth observation through the highly successful RADARSAT program, supporting numerous operational and scientific uses for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. MDA, in conjunction with the Canadian government, has created an internationally recognized brand and reputation for...
Do you know what the geospatial product trap is? We fall in love with the technology, not the problem. I am a lucky person. My job has evolved to one where I primarily get to talk about geospatial technology all day. I could be scoping out internal or external projects or evaluating technologies. Increasingly, I provide advice on product ideas. This final situation has forced me to consider the nature of our community-of-practice. The common assumption that geospatial ...
Explore the structure of an enterprise location intelligence platform at Agriculture Agri-food Canada and how they created a strategic road map to systematically diagnose strengths and weaknesses to drive the use of location intelligence in everyday program and policy decisions of a federal department.Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada supports the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector through initiatives that promote innovation and competitiveness.

The global geospatial industry is estimated at US$ 500 Billion and delivers an even more significant impact on society, with derived economic benefits estimated to be multifold. These benefits, however, are still not fully understood by key stakeholders and policy and decision-makers, ultimately hindering the global uptake of geospatial information. With decades of national spatial data infrastructure efforts around the world, how can this be? Focusing on the importance of...
With rapid advances in Earth observation, cloud computing, and analytics technologies, more information on our changing world is more readily available than ever before. Planet is an aerospace and data analytics company at the forefront of these advances -- working to make global change visible, accessible, and actionable, Planet images the full Earth daily at 3.5m resolution and anywhere sub-daily at <50cm. In this talk, we’ll hear from Tara O’Shea, Planet’s Director of Forest Programs, o...
This talk will be bringing together the power of location intelligence and blockchain technology for an increased speed and accuracy of transactions and improved decision-making.The value that blockchain brings to geospatial technology is security, immutability, and trusted data. On the other hand, geospatial technology provides the power of location to the blockchain. Together, they represent a game-changer both for their utility and disrupt...
Join GeoIgnite for this inaugural panel of provincial and territorial geospatial and location technology leaders.We will be discussing issues surrounding: What are main priorities and challenges across jurisdictions? What types of geospatial tools we use to monitor and respond to key challenges like emergency response? How are jurisdictions aligning geospatial tools, data, and people to address climate change? What are some current data...

Join Jonathan Murphy, Nicholas Kellett and John Roos as they kick off the start of Winter Geo:GeoIgnite 2022.
In this talk Dan Nord will share key insights on Maxar’s position as a centerpiece in the global tech shift from 2D to 3D. Join us to hear more about how Maxar is accelerating its Earth Intelligence business with the launch of WorldView Legion in 2022, as well as building on our lead in mapping, monitoring, and new markets of the future.
Abstract: Organizations are increasingly relying on geospatial analysis to power their decision making and business processes. But in such a dynamically changing world, maintaining an accurate database of critical locations is no small task. Everyday worldwide, businesses open and close, change names, or update their operating hours. When these changes happen, any map, application, or model immediately becomes stale. How can organizations strategize if they are not...

Maritime regions are vast, vessels of interest operate dark, and the agencies responsible for maritime enforcement need to deploy scant resources efficiently to make the greatest mission impact. Maxar has developed the Crow’s Nest Maritime Monitoring and Security (MMS) product to address this need. The product leverages space-based optical and radar imagery, AIS, advanced ma...
Statistics Canada along with their partner, VertiGIS Studio (formerly Geocortex), have collaborated to update the original Census Program Data Viewer (CPDV) https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/dv-vd/cpdv-vdpr/index-eng.cfm. VertiGIS Studio Web and Reporting were used to configure an advanced web-based data visualization tool, that supports the dissemination of statistical data gathered in the 2021 Canadian census. This tool will make statistical information more...

At a time of rising climate change impacts, there is a vital and growing need to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. But there is a critical communication gap between authorities, citizens, and communities. Drawing on the ongoing results of our massive multi-year climate change research project, and with assistance from hundreds of students, citizens, academics, NGOs, government officials, and industry partners, Deploy Solutions has identif...
